Great Words DJ,

 

Carbs will be Feed well in any case.

Farting is your Job,

 

Blowing your doors off, is the RAT's Job.

Chuck up a link to your build Mark?

[Potta]

 Thats good to hear.

 

Hows about a build thread so we can see what you've got and where its at?

[N/A-PWR]

Thank-you Daz for your kind words,

 

That's the Plan, and most of my Topics are the Research from my Experiences,

and also from this Great Forum of Members and their Thoughts and Experiences.

 

All these are part of the Big Picture, 

So when the Body work Starts,

 

I will start a Build Thread, and all the relevant Topic Threads will be Linked.

 

 

RAT's are WILD.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do Dave I. Looks like lots of thought has gone into it and its something different which is great to see. Keep us updated!

 

 

Troy, has done these additions so they fit and look apart.

 

This 69 Model LC 4 Door has the rear doors closed in, and the rear window is made longer too look like a 2 door window.

I have even thought now, to make it a Left Hand Drive while I am at it, as they have been done before for Export.

 

This RAT will have all the Goodies, from the Motor through to bullet holes, fake rust and Registration.

if there is no way to have the side pipes, I will then have them painted there to look real.

 

The Sill Mufflers are where the sill was ( sill's removed ), which keeps the ground to body clearances correct, 

and the rear bottom of the front guards are cut back and mounted where the top of the sill position is, so the Exhaust can be in place as pictured. Dave I

Sills are structural you will need to have them or get engineers advice on what you will need to do to compensate

Crikie, Thank's,

 

I did think of having a con-caved Sills and then the Sill Mufflers.

[71xu1]

Yeah thought of concave sills as a way around the problem. Would still need to get approval though. Didn't think I would like the side pipes but I think they look quite good, definitely worth pursuing.

Cheers Dave

Great Man Dave,

 

Now while we are on the subject of Con-caved Sills, the area there is about 100mm high x 130mm deep.

 

I will draw up the area and use sliced 125mm diameter x 3mm thick Tube/pipe that would give clearance to the Muffler Gauze.

 

 

Have now thought about the Heat transfer too, 

 

I wonder what the Corvette's do in that department.

[rodomo]

I think you'll find they are illegal Dave.
The would be in Vic. with the RWC laws.

Just read other posts. Good luck but more for ornamentation value on the road by the looks?
